Interesting comment about a man who rescued the Tonight Show and
proved
the viability of the late night show format. Carson turned it into
"the" late night show that led the way for many others, but at the
same
time was such a force that serious competition took 20 years to
develop. He was such a force that he could attract heads of state
to
appear and the "blessing" of an appearance on his show made the
career
of numerous entertainers. That his audience was huge and widespread
and loyal goes without saying. He was able to be funny without
being
offensive and took pains to not upstage, but showcase his guests.
And
he had the sense and grace to bow out completely while still a
success.

Yes. And he never regretted it, except for the Monica
Lewinsky deal. He really regretted not being around
for that one.

Entertainers like Kimmel are one-trick-horses. Humor based on
bodily
noises works for a while but doesn't have the staying power of
someone
with true talent like Carson.

A lot of Kimmel's appeal is due to the blatant sex appeal
that was (and is) on The Man Show. I mean, having
porn stars around to help you with your routines will
make you funnier, right?

If you found him unhumorous that seems to put you in a distinctly
small
minority.

Carson's humor is broadbased, and is easier to like
than, say, Monty Python. (Not to say I don't like
Monty Python, I think they're hilarious. Just that
their work is more of an acquired taste.)

I am suprised he lasted this long!

He was loved by the great unwashed masses who had trouble
sleeping, were unemployable and on public assistance or used
the glowing TV tube as a nightlight while having wild
monkey-sex.

"Therrrrrrrrrre's Johnny!" { - Applause Card - }
....see the bonobo-monkeys in the stage audience clap

Oh....and I'm 48, not 14 and remember this putz.

EXACTLY! And then there was Carson's personal STOOGE Ed McMahon,
who's job it was to sit there and
laugh at anything and everything whether it was funny or not. He
was
basically a human "cue card"
letting the audience know when it was time to laugh.
DUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, truely a "great" show.

Jimmy Kimmel totally blows Carson away in talent.


Oy vey.

Sad, but true. Howard Stern draws attention the same way. If Stern
didn't have a steady parade of bimbo's and his trusty assistant
continually chortling approval in the background he would be back on
some local rock/talk show.

Since e was born in Corning, Iowa, grew up in Nebraska, how does
that make him Canadian?

I think Letterman is the only current host who has a chance of lasting
nearly as long. Assuminghis health doesn't take him down first. He and
Carson were quite close... I look forward to seeing what Dave has to say
on his show tonight.

Well, considering that Letterman has already been on for over 22
years, I'd say he has a great chance!

Dan

Didn't Letterman take the job at CBS AFTER Leno got the nod to take over for
Johnny in '92? That would make it 12 years, rather than 22.

Corning, Iowa to be exact. He was also a veteran of WWII.

Yes, but he grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska. Same state as Dick Cavett.
That's why Johnny took a liking to Cavett.

No **** Sherlock... I was only pointing out where he was born. If I need you to

I was simply adding to what you said. I guess Telemon does have the best
solution in your case. How sad.

What a shame. You make a big show of reform, but in a day or so you fall
right back into the slop. Why can't you control these asinine outbursts? It
can't be *that* hard.
